Ranked from 28 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
Taking the words "Diving" and "Deeper", I used that to make a game based on the idea of "DIVEKICKS" and going "DEEPER" into an unknown area to reach a goal

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code myself and created the art assets [UI, 2D graphics, etc] myself with the use of some models and textures from Unreal Engine's Editor

Very fun speedrun game with a surprising amount of polish for a game jam.

Submitted

Smooth game, feels polished! Would've liked some more direction level design wise to see where I'm going more clearly. The boost shift was very fun:) And the gameplay was just the right amount of challenging. Nicely done!

Submitted

A fun and challenging  platformer. I found that the dive kick was kind of useless, because you didn't have to use it to beat the level. You could have remove the upwards dash and replace it by having to dive kick on to an enemy or target to propel yourself upward. Overall great submission!

Submitted

Great game and smooth control movement!

Submitted

I realy loved arts. Smooth and challenging movement. Level design is nice too. At some point I found bug I think. My character started to fall down in ground forever :) Really fun game. Good job!

Submitted

Loved your game!! very fun to play and nice atmosphere!

I loved how you combined 2d and 3d, the gameplay was just addictive

Submitted

Really liked the combination of 2D and 3D. The UI was great and the game was fun, only thing to improve would be that the player's trail is a bit buggy.

very good I enjoy the fast paced game though I feel it would be better if the main character was less slippy I also found a bug where you can fall off the screen. I enjoyed it very much good job

This character feels great to control. Fair and tight controls. The skill ceiling on this one is really high. Well done.

Yoooo amazing game! my favorite so far, I love the aesthetic, the 2 gameplay jumping around 3D objects. The flat 2D elements and sounds for them give a really cool vibe in general, loved it :D

I loved this game, the fast-paced movement and art style are really amazing, one of the best submissions ive seen so far!

Developer

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed it!

I watched the video and that sold the game for me. The controls take a bit of getting used to though, and I managed to clip through the map at the part where you have to jump on giant up arrows.

Developer

I'm happy to hear the video helped out a lot! And yeah I felt like I missed a wall or two in this game as I was rushing to complete. Thanks for playing!

When I watched the demo video I thought "this game looks sick", and I'm happy that it was, with a bit more polish and more levels this game could be really fun. Good Game Design and a interesting take on the theme! Keep up the good work!

Developer

Ay, thanks! Glad to see you liked it, kind of felt like I was stretching when it came to the theming but seems like it went alright! Thanks for playing!

I love the 2d sprite in the 3d world. well made animations! 

Developer

Thank you, I appreciate it a lot! 

Submitted

interesting, the game looks like 3d but also 2d at the same time. looks really cool!

Developer

Thank you, I appreciate it!

I really liked the game design and the audio. Dash was a bit annoying at first but I get used to it. Overall it's a pretty underrated game. Also the demo video didn't work for me. (I could have done a lot better time)

Developer (1 edit)

Ah yeah it can be a bit tough to get used to but you get into the flow once it gets rolling. Nice job on the time!

Congratulations on doing everything yourself. The audio is perfect, and it's a nice game.

Developer

Thanks, I'm very happy to hear that! Thanks for playing
